My truck

As I drove I felt as if there was something weird about this truck. It almost had a familiar feeling about it. I drive home and get out.

I see how dirty the truck is and sigh. "Time for a bath." I say. I get changed and grab some buckets. I fill them with water and soap before Sam pulls up. "Hey will you wash mine?" He ask. I glare at him. "Payment?" I ask holding out my hand. Sam glares at me then sighs. He digs into his pocket and hands me a twenty.

"Thank you." I say sticking it my pocket. "Can you hurry?" Sam asks. "Tip?" I ask. Sam glares at me once more and hands me a five.

"Right away sir." I say switching to the cameo. Suddenly the radio of the cameo comes on and plays " that's the way uhhu uhhu I like it uhhu uhhu."

My truck door pops open and hits Sam's car. I burst out laughing. "Looks like my car had personality." I say. Sam rolls his eyes.

I finish washing his car. "I swear if you bring that dick headed pervert back here I will kick you ass Sam." I say. Sam looks scared and nods.

He gets in his car and takes off. I turn and start washing my car. I could almost feel the truck relax? Under my touch. I must have imagined it.

Mum comes out. "Hey baby. I think you should have this. It's from your birth parents." Mum says. I drop the bucket and turn to her.

I see a locket in her hand. I slowly take it and open it. I could see a buff man and a beautiful woman. A few tears spill down my face.

Mum hugs me tightly. "Thanks mum." I whisper. Mum nods. I put the locket on and resume washing my car. Tears stream down my face.

"No. I promised I wouldn't cry over them. They gave me up. Weather it be they couldn't take care of me or they didn't want me.

I won't cry over them." I whisper. I finish washing my car. I put everything away and get in. I turn my truck on and sigh wiping my eyes.

I drive to the old abandoned war field. It had tons of old weapons, planes, jeeps, everything military related. I get out and climb threw the fence.

I go searching and find a old jacket. I pick it up and dust it off. I slip it on and smile. "Nice. It suits me." I say before climbing the fence once more.

I look around and sigh. I felt at home here. I felt like I belonged here. I shake my head and get in my truck. I start the drive home.

On the way I see miles walking. He sees me as I lock my doors. "Hey babe. Why don't you give me a ride?" Miles asks pulling on the door handle.

"Open the door!" Miles says. "No! I will not give you a ride. Have fun walking." I say speeding off. I make sure to cover miles in mud before driving home.
